THE  beautiful  custom  of  erecting  monu- 
mental memorials  to  the  departed  has  been 
adopted  by  all  civilized  nations  and  the 
care  of  the  sacred  spot  that  contains  the 
sepulcher  is  zealously  guarded  by  the  liv- 
ing. We  are  all  called  upon  sooner  or 
later,  to  tender  this  last  mark  of  love  and 
respect  to  those  who  have  lelt  the  family 
hreside  and  have  passed  into  the  realms  of 
eternity.  This  book  is  sent  you  for  the 
purpose  of  showing  modern  designs  of  monumental  work,  and  to 
assist  you  in  determining  something  of  a general  plan  )’ou  wish 
to  adopt,  when  you  become  prepared  to  enter  into  the  details. 
Each  page  contains  sample  designs  of  work  from  the  plain  sub- 
stantial markers,  to  the  most  costly  statuary  and  mausoleums. 
The  designs  shown  are  merely  a few  selections  from  each  charac- 
ter of  work,  and  when  you  are  prepared  to  purchase  we  should 
esteem  it  a favor  if  you  would  consult  with  us  before  placing 
your  order  elsewhere.  Our  line  of  designs  are  all  modern  and 
we  make  a specialty  of  artistic  and  correct  lettering.  Should 
vou  wish  us  to  call  and  submit  plans  before  we  would  reach  you 
in  the  regular  course  of  business,  a line  directed  to  us  will  assure 
prompt  attention.  We  handle  all  grades  of  granite,  marble  and 
stone  work  and  endeavor  always  to  keep  our  prices  low,  consider- 
ing the  quality  of  work  we  are  furnishing.

Jesus  loves  the  pure  and  holy. 

How  many  hopes  lie  buried  here? 

They  are  not  lost — but  gone  before. 

Plucked  from  earth  to  bloom  in  heaven. 

A sunbeam  from  the  world  has  x^anished. 

1 God’s  finger  touched  him  and  he  slept. 

S I have  found  the  shore  of  everlasting  rest, 
s Blessed  are  the  dead  xvho  die  in  the  Lord. 

To  live  in  hearts  xve  leave  behind  is  not  to  die. 

1 Only  crossed  the  river  of  death  to  that  beautiful  summer  land.
